I am looking for some guidance on entering a seed time for the 500 Free. I have never swum the event in competition and do not want to be too far off from what it should be.
I know this might not be enough information, but I just want to have a rough, conservative idea:
Best Times:
100 yd Free 1:02 (29/33)
200 yd Free 2:27 (33/37/39/38)
I don't even have a practice time, but I can tell you I tend to be a little better at shorter distances in practice than longer distances.
Any help would be appreciated.

You're a tad faster than me and your splits fall like mine too. I go about 7:30 in practice--in a race I think I'd do better....
My speed drops significantly though and I don't train for 500's.
What speed do you hold your 100 repeats on?
Your 200 shows you drop off a bit like me. I think 7:00 should be doable for you.
Failing that, go for swim, warm up, push it for 500 and see where you stand.
